TO SAVE THEIR HOOFS.
4 Horse Shoe That viii Skip the Cable
Line Slots.
AN IMPROVED KIND OF SHOE.
Invention of st. Paul Man That, 1t Is
Claimed, Will Avoid ALI
Danger.

The slot for the grip attachment for
the cable cars on Fourth street has
given owners of horses no little anxiety
since the work was completed and it
was found that it offered such good adj
vantages for running horses feet. So
many horses were getting their shoes
torn off that it began to be serious mat
ter. Tie slot is left unusually wide, en-
account of the climate here and the ma
terial in which the iron was laid, so that
there was ample room for the entrance
of the ''cOrks" on the shoes. and the re-
suit has been to tear Off shoes, and in
some instances seriously injure the
horses feet. The question of a shoe
that would Obviate the danger from this
has been much DISGUISE ed among owners
Of horses, horsesh0ers and others. 1t is
something in which every owner of a
horse is Interested.

The aged crank who has been arguing
the question of the rights of a public
speaker with the mayors of Chicago and
st. Louis, visited Cheyenne in 1867 and
threatened to locate here. His first move
was to build a five story hotel on Six
teenth street. The foundation was con-
structed and the project abandoned. Train
then became interested in Dale City, a
movable metropolis near Sherman which
was deserted after seven or eight men had
been killed and an equal number lynched.
The philosopher appointed a policeman
named Raymond his Cheyenne agent, with
orders to dispose of the embryotic hotel
and the ground which 1t occupied. The
property was sold in duo time and the
purchase money forwarded to Train. This
transaction ended his connection with
Cheyenne, but was the cause of a rather
amusing incident which occurred in a
local police court some weeks after the
sale.
A gambler and desperate named Char
ley Barnum was arraigned before the
mayor, who was also police judge, charged
with drunkenness. When his honor in
quired for the prosecuting witness Ray
mond responded. When the latter arose
Barnum interrupted the proceedings by
earnestly asserting: Judge, l don't
want that fellow to testify against me.
He's add thief and 1 know it. He
sold Charles Francis Trains foundation,
sold it for $500 and kept the money"
Notwithstanding Barnum's preiudices he
was fined both for contempt of court and
the offense committed.

They Received No Farors.

A gentleman who called at this office
Yesterday has good ideas upon the sub
ject which he wished the public to be in
formed upon. His grievance was that
some residents of East Sixteenth street
are threatening to sue the Cheyenne &
Burlington for the manner in which the
grade destroys the value of their property.
He stated that while it was only fair that
the corporation should the
parties whose premises are injured, no
claims for exhorbitant sums should be
made. In the latter case costly litigation
would be the natural result. Just COM
1are the advent of the Cheyenne & Bur-
lington with the construction of the Union
Pacific. The latter organization received
a bonus of half the territory twenty miles
each eide of the line. The company
which is building toward Cheyenne now
is dubbed a g%rasping monopoly because it
desires Il right of way gratuitousIy and
pays a fair price for all the property
which the line in any way interferes with"

One day last week two attorneys were
wading into law and citing authorities by
the score in Judge Lees court during the
trial of a case wherein the point at issue
was whether d bill was outlawed when the
first item in the account had been pur
chased several years before the contractor
of the amount Lad been sued for it.
The venerable judge listened to the ar.
gument for some time, and tried to follow
the references. Finally w~earying. he ad
iourned court by remarking: Il deal out
justice in this court, and believe that the
defendant owe and ought to pay the bill.
If you want law there's any amount Of it
up at the court house." The case will be
heard in the district court.

The New Round House.

The Cheyenne Il Burlington round
house at the eastern extremity of Six
teenth street is rapidly assuming shape.
1t will be a massive structure built in a
workmanlike manner. and in conformity
with the plans drawn by experienced
draughtsmen. In the construction OF the
building 300, 900 brick and nearly 100 car
loads of stone will be used. The cubes
are furnished by Frank Miller, OF this
city, while the heavier material is from
the Fort Collins quarries of the Union
Pacific. Peterson, the Cheyenne CON
tractor, has been awarded the contract for
the construction of the building. At
present his force of men is engaged in
laying the foundation and preparing the
cut stone to be used in the building.
Bricklaying will be commenced next week.
1t has been SO arranged that additional
facilities for the housing of a large num-
Der of locomotives can be provided with
out destroying the fine architectural APP
pearance of the handsome building. A
clearing has already been made for the
turn table, and work on that auxiliary will
soon be inaugurated. Contractor Peter
son states that the company has promised
to furnish him with a carload of Iron
Mountain stone, in order that the output
of the quarries north of Cheyenne might
be practically tested.

THAT TRIAL.
Miss Brand is Sustained by the school
Board.

The trial ofMiss Era Brand, the school
teacher, before the board o ftrustees last
evening, resulted In an honorable ~acquit-
tai OF the young lady. The charge that
she had been guilty of immoral conduct
at a dance was preferred by Mr.. Fred La
Pash, and was accompanied by a request
that she be removed. The evidence ad-
duced was offs very indefinite character,
and not at all in keeping with the serious
ness of the allegations.
The testimony established that upon
the night in question the lady and a Mr..
Anderson had absented themselves from
the house where the festivities we're in
progress upon two occasions for an aggre-
gate duration of four hours. The wit.
nesses did not attempt to state where the
missing couple were. On the other hand
Miss Brand and Mr.. Anderson gave an
uncontradicted account of their actions in
each instance.
Judge Lacey conducted the case for the
accused, while Prof. Norton represented
the defense. John Durbin, chairman of
the school board, was judge, with j. G..
Baird as referee and Postmaster Snyder
as clerk of court.
Those who attended the meeting antici-
paing a sensational trial were disappoint-
ed. The indictment itself was an ex-
tremely mild i%nsinuation, but dark hints
were freely made by the prosecution.
The young lady asked and received per-
mis- sion to postpone the reopening of
school until next Monday.
Miss Brand stood the trying ordeal
bravely, though she came near ~falnting
once. 1t is a shame that it became neces-
sary to make such a matter public.
Aside from the fact that the reputation OF
Miss Brand was never before assailed, she
comes from an honorable and highly re
spected Illinois family.

SUICIDES IN DENVER.
Harry Myers, a Cheyenne Printer,
Commits Suicide.
A Bright and Promising Youth
Ruined by Evil Associates.
Drinking and Gambling Cause the
Rash Deed.

In a spell of dependency s~uperinduced
by excessive use of alcoholic stimulants
and indulgence in opium smoking, Henry
Myers, a printer well known in this city,
committed suicide in Denver yesterday
morning.
The first intimation Of the sad occur
renee received in this city was conveyed
to the beIeaved mother of the unfortunate
young man in a telegram from an elder
brother of the deceased, and was consld-
cred incredible until the sad news was con-
irmed by a special dispatch to THE
LEADER.
The bright youth, who, unable to over
conn the Influences of evil associates and
the lures of those who sought to drag a
gulleless boy to a depth in which incidents
repulsive to him occurred, was 81
years of age, having attained his majority
a few months since. He was a practical
printer, a member in good standing of the
local typographical union and was q gen
eral favorite with all. For the past
five years he has been employed at var.
ious newspaper Offices in this city and was
considered an excellent oompositor and a
reliable workman.
Three years ago there was not a more
promising young man in Cheyenne than
the poor, misguided boy who died by his
own hand yesterday. Of a sunny and
independent disposition he was both loved
and respected. To praise his honesty is
to waste words. Being of thrifty habits
and the possessor of good business fac
ulties he accumulated money and was in a
fair way to become wealthy.
Some eighteen months since it was
noticed that the boy was becoming some
h reckless. He learned t gamble,
and drinking, the kindred vice, came I'M
invited to assist in the ruin of a youth
who lived twenty years before INDUCING
in these disipations. 1t is said that since
becoming an habitue of gambling dens
Myers has, in addition to his wages, lost
over $1,000, the savings of six years.
That he formed the acquaintance OF lewd
women goes without saying. The sui.
eide contracted the opium habit while
visiting in California and continued to
use the drug out OF bravado more than
love for it and this excess probably had
little to do with the termination of his
existence.
Myers was fairly well educated, and had
travelled extensively, having visited all the
principal cities of the United States. A
close observer and an entertaining mar
rator, he was a most agreeable companion.
Two years ago he owned property at Ell
Paso, Tex, and Los Angeles, Cal, but is
believed to have disposed of it.
The suicide of Harry Myers is a more
forcible temperance lecture than could be
delivered from any platform by the most
eloquent and learned advocate of total alb
stinence principles. A boy, Just entering
manhood with the finest prospects,, be.
comes so discouraged and disheartened
while imbued with the idea that he could
not conquer an appetite necessarily of
short existence, concludes that death is
preferable to unnatural bondage.
